The study programme is aimed to prepare qualified specialists for research work with a competence corresponding to the international standards in water engineering sciences.

Studies are organised as lectures, discussion with supervisor and individual studies.

The main courses offered include theoretical and empirical research methodology, scientific terminology of water engineering sciences, problems and theories in the field of water engineering sciences research, theoretical and practical innovations/novelties in the field.

Students in this programme acquire the skills to do theoretical and empirical investigations in water engineering science in cooperation with other persons involved in the investigation, participating and presenting results in scientific conferences, able to develop new knowledge on existing knowledge and practically implementing investigation results, prepare internationally indexed publications.
